Dripping Mixers
A worn cartridge inside a sink or basin mixer causes the drip that no tightening will stop, and we swap the cartridge, test pressure and check the hoses underneath in one visit.

Taps and Mixers Fixed Here
From a single dripping laundry tap to a whole-house set of salted spindles, we carry the cartridges, washers and seats for the common fittings on the first visit.
What Salt Air Does Here
Foreshore fittings age fast
Spinnaker Drive sits hard against the Passage, and the sea breeze there works over brass spindles and chrome flanges year after year, so a tap that would last a decade inland weeps within a few winters.
Outdoor taps cop it worst
A garden tap on its second or third washer usually has a corroded spindle body, and the honest answer is a new assembly in a material that survives the air.
Villas need quiet fixes
The Pebble Beach retirement community on Bestmann Road East opened in 2002, and a tap ticking through the wall of a quiet villa bedroom gets treated as urgent by us.
The rise wears differently
Homes up on the sandstone ground see ordinary washer and seat wear rather than corrosion, so the same drip has a different cause street by street.
Tap Work We Carry Out
We handle the full range of tap repairs, from a five-minute washer swap to replacing corroded assemblies:
Garden and Outdoor Taps
Garden taps near the water corrode on the spindle and the body, and we replace the assembly with parts that survive the salt so the new tap shuts off cleanly.
Bath and Shower Taps
Two-handle bath and shower fittings hide worn spindles, O-rings and jumper valves behind tiled or panel walls, and we reseat or replace them so the shower holds pressure.
Leaking Isolation Valves
The small shut-off valves under sinks and behind toilets seize and weep with age, and we free or swap them so you can turn the water off at the fixture.
Washing Machine Taps
Wall taps serving the laundry seize or drip at the hose thread, and a failed laundry tap can flood a floor overnight, so we replace it and check the hoses.
Pressure and Temperature Work
High mains pressure and hot water expansion stress tap seals, and when a new cartridge fails early we test the pressure and tempering settings, because the tap is often the symptom.

Problems We See Every Week
The Tap That Drips All Night
A worn washer or cartridge is the usual culprit, often sped along by salt air on the fitting, and a clean swap with the right part on the ute takes minutes.
A Spindle Turned by Pliers
The handle broke because the spindle corroded and seized, which happens fast on outdoor fittings near the water, and a new spindle assembly gives you a tap you can turn easily.
A Mixer Dripping Under the Bench
Flexible hoses and connection nuts under a sink mixer weep with age and salt, and the damp smell in the cupboard is often the first sign of trouble.
A Tap That Screams or Hammers
Tap noise usually points to high mains pressure, a worn jumper valve or a loose pipe clip, so we trace it first before any leak detection or bathroom plumbing work.
Why Prompt Tap Repairs Matter
Water bills climb quietly
A tap dripping once a second wastes thousands of litres a year, and with Unitywater charging by usage, the account keeps growing while the repair costs less than a few months of the drip.
Small leaks become big ones
A weeping connection under a sink or behind a wall softens timber and plaster over months, and a small repair today avoids the bigger one when the cabinet or ceiling gives out.
Retirees deserve quiet nights
The last census put the median age here at 62, and plenty of households are light sleepers, so a bathroom tap dripping through the wall is a genuine quality-of-life fix, not a luxury.

Tap Repair Questions
Call (07) 3524 7117Do taps near Pumicestone Passage fail faster in Sandstone Point?
They do, because salt-laden breezes off the Passage chew through brass spindles and steel clips on exposed fittings, so an outdoor tap near the shore often needs a full replacement rather than a washer.
Can a dripping tap show up on my Unitywater bill?
Yes, because Unitywater charges by usage, and a steady drip sends a surprising volume down the drain over a quarter, so the repair usually costs less than the wasted water.
Should a corroded mixer in Sandstone Point be replaced or repaired?
Near the water a salted mixer body is usually too pitted to seal again, so we quote a replacement with corrosion-resistant parts instead of a repair that weeps again within months.
Do you dress tap seats or just fit new washers?
We dress or replace the seat when the washer has been grinding on rough brass, because a fresh washer on a damaged seat drips again before long, and seat work adds little to the visit.
Who looks after taps on my side of the meter in Sandstone Point?
Unitywater looks after the street main and everything up to your meter, while every tap past that connection belongs to you, so all tap work inside your boundary is ours to handle.
How do I book a tap repair in Sandstone Point?
Ring (07) 3524 7117 and tell us which taps are playing up, and we set a time, quote the work fixed before we start and bring the common parts on the first visit.
